Re: Incompatible change to file-attributes - this is how it can look

packages such as tramp I don't know how this core change will

be changed to use of file-stat instead!?
I dislike this change. What you could do is to call the file name
handler of `file-attributes' inside `file-stat' if needed. But this is a
hack, and likely there will be problems in the future.
I do not plan to add file name handlers for `file-stat' in Tramp. Double
work for nothing, from the pov of Tramp.
